the Drowsy chaperone
is coming this summer to east central Illinois
June 23-26, 2022
We take great pleasure in announcing that our summer musical will be “The Drowsy Chaperone." Performances will be on the campus of Eastern Illinois University at Doudna Fine Arts Center.
Winner of five Tony Awards, including Best Book and Best Original Score, THE DROWSY CHAPERONE is a musical comedy gem. As the curtain rises, the audience is introduced to a theatre fan playing his favorite cast album, the fictitious 1928 hit The Drowsy Chaperone. As he listens to the record on his turntable, the characters come to life in his apartment, and mayhem ensues with an intricately plotted tale of love-in-crisis involving gangsters, show people, millionaires, and a host of others.
THE DROWSY CHAPERONE is a loving send-up of the Jazz Age musical with all the ingredients for an evening of madcap delight complete with great songs and dance numbers!
This production is rated PG-13. Parental discretion is advised.
See you at the show!
